Samsung Teases Z Fold Ultra, Bing Gets AI Video, and Nothing Sets A Date—Your Gear News of the Week

Bing has added a new AI-powered video generation tool to its mobile app, built on OpenAI's Sora text-to-video model. This feature is exclusive to ChatGPT subscribers but now available for free on Bing. You can create 5-second vertical videos, though these are not generated instantly. You'll receive a notification when the video is ready. While the standard speed is free, the "Fast" option is available 10 times before requiring 100 Microsoft Reward points. These videos can be shared anywhere and are stored in the Bing app for 90 days.

Video generation wars have been intensifying, with Google unveiling its Veo 3 model at Google I/O in May. Chinese phone brand Honor has also partnered with Google to integrate AI video features. Video generation tools make it easy to share visions but complicate distinguishing reality from fabrication.
